Usually a term relegated to common stocks, equities, and commodities, “market value” has also been used to keep certain positions out of the Top 10 of the annual NFL Draft. No matter how valuable the player might be on the field, his “market value” as an offensive guard, or nose tackle, or fullback, or offensive center just didn’t justify selecting him with a coveted Top 10 pick. Opportunity cost for passing on a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, or defensive corner was way too high to be contemplating an interior offensive lineman at #2, or #5, or even #9.

Re: Top 10 & Market Value

I would disagree on NT position, while its still undervalued teams do reach to address need just look at Kansas City last year. Did they include Poe who was selected #11 overall? total overshot, however the book is not closed on him just yet but it does warrant close consideration that position is hardly chopped beef.
